by Kevin Burton There is a count-your-blessings exercise I do now and then that usually brings me good cheer. I sit in a chair and keep my head still, but using my straight-ahead and peripheral vision, take in everything I can see. I then consider where it all came from and remembers …

Like Paul, Let Us Glory In Our Weakness
by Kevin Burton Even the Apostle Paul asked God the question, made the request. So I don’t feel quite as bad about not initially embracing my own weakness. In fact, Paul asked three times. My idea is to acknowledge weakness when I must, but then work to try to get rid of …
Keeping Christ In Christmas At Our House
by Kevin Burton Only one snack company has permission to send me e-mails; Herr’s chips, based in Nottingham, Pennsylvania. I love their red-hot chips. Herr’s sent me an e-mail Wednesday with the subject “Merry Chip-mas!” And I just sighed. It didn’t make me angry, but it also didn’t make me …

Breakfast With Jesus, Can You Imagine?

Why God Gives Us What He Gives Us
by Kevin Burton The strength God supplies you, the material resources, the breath of life itself, were given for a reason. Service. There is joy in the Lord, but we as Christians are not on a joyride here on earth. We have a job to do. “For we are His workmanship, created …
